Style prompt

The image has a heavy impasto painting surface built from large, deliberately nonnatural color areas. Edges are jagged or scraped where adjacent patches collide; dark contour strokes anchor forms without making them tidy. Brilliant yellow, hot magenta, orange-red, violet, cobalt blue, and green share the surface with deep black, and complementary colors meet directly with very little neutral transition. Short visible strokes and raised paint ridges create tactile motion across both light and dark passages. Illumination is carried by the color structure itself: pale and warm planes advance, while blue-black marks sink into shadow. The framing is tight and the shapes are large, creating pressure at the edges and a concentrated focal center. The overall effect is bold, emotionally heightened, and materially vigorous, with expressive color replacing conventional tonal modeling.

Full example prompt

A square expressionist oil painting fills the frame with a woman's face, rendered in saturated, nonnatural color against restless dark brushwork. The crop is intimate: the upper edge cuts through a broad black hat or mass of dark hair, and the chin approaches the lower center. Her gaze turns slightly toward the left, yet both large almond-shaped eyes remain visible beneath dark, sharply arched brows. The left side of her face is a brilliant yellow plane, while the right side changes abruptly through hot magenta, violet, and a patch of vivid green. A pale cream wedge runs down the center of the nose and surrounds the small red lips, making the features readable without natural flesh tones. Dark blue and black contours carve the nose, eyelids, and jaw, with their uneven edges following the pressure of the brush rather than a polished line. Across the upper left, brief orange, blue, and green strokes flash through the dark hat shape. Behind the left cheek, violet and navy areas break into irregular marks; a strong orange-red field presses against the right side of her head. Small scraps of green and yellow appear near the neck at the bottom edge. Paint is visibly thick and directional, leaving ridges, short dragged strokes, and rough transitions between color patches. The lighting is pictorial rather than tied to a real lamp: the cream and yellow planes act as light, while blue-black contours provide shadow and structure. The close viewpoint eliminates a distant setting and gives the eye and cheek color blocks almost equal importance to the face itself. No readable text appears. The overall composition is immediate and emotionally charged, balancing the calm frontal features against clashing warm and cool paint areas and vigorous surface texture.
